Many thanks and I will install when I get home. I guess I got lucky when I ordered it. Also does anyone know anything about the exhaust upgrade for the 6.2 liter GM offers. I see they advertise a slight HP gain but I was wondering if it will interfere with my exhaust through bumper. I have a 2021 Trail boss midnight edition and do not want to lose my black exhaust tips 

Mine has it and the tips stayed the same. (unfortunately my TB has the chrome tips though...for now).

I just installed the Pulsar LT on my 2021 Sierra AT4 6.2.  Five minutes to install the hardware.  10 minutes to program.  Very easy.  Speedo calibration for bigger tires worked perfectly when checked

To summarize the other thread... the motors affected were built before 3/4/2021. The TSB states the truck VIN build dates that are affected (with the aforementioned motors) are between 9/1/2020 &

Anyone with the Pulsar LT have any issues with battery drain?  I had the Range AFM Disable Module in my '15 Sierra and if it sat a couple days the battery would be dead.  Had to unplug everyday when I got home.

I’ve had mine for a little over two weeks now and haven’t had any issues. This past weekend I didn’t go anywhere for two or three days and my truck started right up.

You may have had a bad unit. I had the Range device in my 2015 and never had the battery drain problem.

Wasn't just me, there were tons of reviewers with the same issue.

Love to try the Pulsar, but no one has em.

Yeah my dad wants one for his 20 TB. I ordered mine just in time. He called their customer service and was told they are waiting on the wiring harnesses from wherever they get them from.

Do you have to remove Pulsar LT before any dealer maintenance to avoid warranty issues?

 

Also is throttle response as cool as it sounds or is factory setting preferred?

No you don't "have to", but it's highly recommended so that you don't give them a reason to blame a problem on it.

 

Yes throttle response is cool as it sounds, but it all depends on what you think is cool.  😎

Do y'all think this would work in a 2021 Yukon Denali (6.2L/10spd)?  I don't see any reason it wouldn't, but I am curious what y'all think -- and if anyone has had any experience with it.

I'll add, had my Pulsar on for a few months now (19 TB), no issues, no battery drain, like others, auto stop off, dfm off, but i prefer the first step above stock for throttle response.  Throttle response adjustable on the fly even when in motion so it's simple to change...AND BUMP!  I've dropped it to less than stock more than once and panicked until I realized what I did.

 

Coming from an inTune 3 for my Ram and 17 Silverado, the Pulsar is SO much easier and less stressful than full on flashes.

I just got my pulsar lt yesterday and i am concerned about the harness has anyone washed their engine bay with these installed the factory harness has like a cover over the pins the harness that comes with the pulsat has rubber plugs in the dead spots but i held it up to the light and plenty of places for water intrusion  worried about ruining the factory harness.  Any help would be appreciated

I got mine last week, just waiting for my truck to get back from the dealer (a loooong list of issues) and then install.  I plan to fill all connectors with dielectric grease, so that should stop any water penetration.

I thought about that didn’t know if it was a good idea based on hw the connection like rotates closed didn't know if the grease would  mess with any of the tolerances

I think as long as I don't go overboard and use the whole tube it should be fine.  Probably just get a good coating covering one side.  I've used it on lots of connectors at work and it's thin enough that it will express out the sides if over used.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
